Here’s an interesting idea: choose a book and all its references (to people, places, products, music, movies etc) and then provide more information and links about each of them. Obviously some books are going to have a lot more ‘recent’ content than others to make the cross-referencing easier.

The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore is one of this year’s Oscar nominees for best Short Film (animated). We really, really enjoyed this.
You can read more about its inspirations (Buster Keaton, The Wizard of Oz, and Hurricane Katrina, to name a few), its makers, its message (about the power of story), and its iPad app at LATimes.com.
